Who We Are
You will join the Product Development Team as a System Level Test Engineer in the Silicon Operations team taking Silicon One ASICS from proto to production. You will be working with custom network processors, transceivers, mixed signal ICs, multi-die modules, bare die and stacked die.
What You’ll Do
Our team drives the post-silicon validation cycle to meet Product Quality and Time to Market Metrics. We develop test requirements for groundbreaking IP, to minimize test overhead both in design and for production. We develop custom test solutions spanning high power, large dies and packages to cost-sensitive products.
In this role, you will own the end-end system test solution for your product, including:
- Develop and customize the SLT hardware for high volume manufacturing (industrial design, automation support, power, performance, testability etc).
- Bring up and validate hardware, SDK and test scripts.
- Develop the tests for the characterization and volume manufacturing phases to optimize product cost, throughput and quality.
- Collaborate with ASIC design, HW, ATE test groups to develop the end-end test solution and drive continuous improvements over product lifecycle.
Who You'll Work With
We collaborate with ASIC design teams as well as several peer groups in Supply Chain Operations to influence Cisco Silicon One Productization Strategy.
Who You Are
- Support hardware/ test related issues during the sustain phase.
- Ability to thrive in a multifaceted environment
- High level of motivation and energy
- Experience with developing, diagnosing and maintaining hardware. Ability to debug hardware using lab equipment
- Good software skills particularly in test automation, diagnostic and maintenance utilities.
- Background in SOC/VLSI/Mixed Signal IC bring-up, production and characterization test, and product engineering.
- Fundamentals in IC design, Design for Test and manufacturing concepts.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or other similar engineering field
- 1+ years of experience with system level test in validation and/or manufacturing testing environments spanning application specification, infrastructure selection, execution, data collection and analysis.
- 1+ years of experience in New Product Introduction, specifically SLT test case definition/generation/selection/execution and data analysis.
Why Cisco
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference. Here’s how we do it.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. A blockchain company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!
But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool.

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.
U.S. employees have to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:
.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.
For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
